WinDC builds and operates modular AI factories across Australia — purpose-built compute infrastructure powered entirely by renewable energy, deployed in as little as 90 days.
The term AI factory was coined by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to describe the next generation of compute infrastructure — facilities purpose-built to process data and produce AI intelligence at scale, just as traditional factories process raw materials into finished goods.
Unlike conventional data centres that support general-purpose IT workloads, AI factories are optimised specifically for the demands of modern AI: training large models, running high-throughput inference, and processing massive datasets continuously. They require high-density GPU clusters, specialised cooling, enormous power capacity, and low-latency interconnects.
For Australia to develop sovereign AI capability — independent of offshore cloud providers — the country needs its own AI factory infrastructure. That's what WinDC delivers.
"Data centres used to store data. AI factories produce intelligence. They are the manufacturing plants of the AI era."Jensen Huang — CEO, NVIDIA
Demand for AI compute in Australia is growing fast. The infrastructure to support it is not keeping pace.
Australian enterprises and government agencies rely heavily on hyperscaler cloud providers — sending sensitive data offshore and accepting pricing set in USD. There are no purpose-built, Australian-owned AI factories operating at scale.
Traditional data centre construction requires 2–5 years and grid upgrades costing hundreds of millions. With transmission infrastructure already under pressure, there is no fast path for conventional AI factory development through existing channels.
Australia curtails billions of dollars worth of renewable energy every year because the grid cannot absorb it. Wind and solar farms generate power with nowhere to go — while AI workloads that could consume it are forced offshore.
WinDC's modular AI factory model is purpose-engineered to solve Australia's compute and clean energy challenges simultaneously — at speed.
We identify renewable generation sites — solar, wind, and hydro — with stranded or curtailed power. Deploying directly behind the meter means zero transmission losses and power costs dramatically below grid rates. Our access to 6.5GW+ of renewable capacity across Australia gives us unmatched site selection optionality.
Each WinDC AI factory unit is factory-built as an ISO containerised data centre — 20 or 40 feet — purpose-fitted with GPU-optimised racks, high-density liquid cooling, N+1 redundant power systems, and integrated fleet management. Hardware-agnostic: NVIDIA, AMD, and custom configurations supported.
From site assessment to live AI workloads in approximately 90 days. No grid upgrade approvals, no multi-year construction cycles, no planning bottlenecks. WinDC modules ship and commission at a pace that traditional AI factory development simply cannot match.
AI factories don't need to be permanent. WinDC modules are fully intermodal and relocatable — truck, rail, or ship. Capacity scales by adding pods. If your workload requirements shift or a better renewable site becomes available, the infrastructure moves with you.
Every AI factory workload on WinDC is verifiably powered by 100% renewable energy. Our Grokens attestation system maps your compute usage to time-matched renewable generation — providing compliance-grade carbon reporting, GPU-hour by GPU-hour.

Learn MoreAccess high-density, carbon-neutral GPU capacity at a fraction of hyperscaler pricing. Scale training and inference infrastructure for your customers without building or owning physical AI factory assets. WinDC handles the hardware; you focus on the platform.
Learn MoreTurn curtailed or low-value renewable generation into high-value AI compute revenue. WinDC deploys behind the meter at your site in ~90 days — converting stranded energy into a new income stream without requiring grid export approvals.
Learn MoreBuild national AI capability on Australian soil with full data sovereignty. WinDC AI factories support defence, research, and public sector workloads with verifiable zero-emission compute and infrastructure that stays within Australian jurisdiction.
Learn MorePower large-scale scientific computing, machine learning research, and high-performance workloads on affordable, sovereign GPU infrastructure. WinDC gives research institutions access to carbon-neutral compute without hyperscaler pricing or offshore data exposure.
Learn MoreAustralian enterprises and government agencies rely on offshore hyperscalers — sending sensitive data abroad and accepting USD pricing. Australia has no purpose-built, locally owned AI factory infrastructure operating at scale.
Sending AI workloads and datasets to US-based providers creates jurisdictional risk, compliance exposure, and pricing vulnerability that Australia's G20 economy cannot afford as AI becomes critical national infrastructure.
Australia curtails billions of dollars in clean energy every year. AI factories at renewable sites absorb this otherwise-wasted generation — creating economic value while accelerating decarbonisation.
The window to build competitive sovereign AI infrastructure is now. Traditional data centre timelines cannot meet the pace of AI adoption. WinDC's modular AI factory model is the only credible fast-path solution.
AI factories deployed at remote and regional renewable sites create skilled technical jobs in communities that have historically missed the digital economy.
